Metal Additive Manufacturing can be used to build smart structural features and parts. Residual Stress and distortion is probably the biggest challenge. Lab-scale parts with simple linear features have recently been investigated more frequently. A common opinion is that thermal stress relieving can eliminate all those residual stresses.However, for the manufacture of real parts, more complex features than linear walls are required. A typical feature in real applications are intersections, which have not been subject to stress measurements yet.This study will investigate the residual stress in intersections compared to single walls and whether thermal stress relieving can eliminate residual stresses.
